Happy Monday

About This Movie

So, 'Happy Monday' directed by Ian Mitchell is this introspective drama that really digs into the mind of Jessica as she navigates the anxieties of the work week ahead. The pacing feels almost lethargic, which works in its favor, letting you sit with her thoughts, her worries. It’s got this almost surreal atmosphere, where the mundane feels heavy and loaded. The performances are raw, particularly from the lead, who captures that chaotic mental space with authenticity. There’s a minimalistic approach to practical effects, which complements the story’s grounded nature. It’s distinct in how it doesn’t rush to resolution, allowing the viewer to feel that tension of the looming Monday just as much as Jessica does.
